Do-it-yourself textile printer with minimum cost
As I wanted to print a picture on a t-shirt. He climbed into the Internet - and there, it turns out, people have superprinters who print on these T-shirts. Well, I thought - and if I did not buy the same? But, seeing the prices for them, a drama and tragedy happened to me. How expensive they are - thousands for five evergreens you can find some sort of used and it will be cheap. In general, a little is not the amount that would buy it as a toy. And then I remembered the good old EPSON 1290, who was gathering dust in a closet at the office ...
In general, I was lying in a closet in the office of Epson 1290. How much I work here - so much he was lying. It seems like his head was dried out and there was no sense in reviving it. In general, I take it to my house with the thought that if I buy something new in my head. He pulled, launched, cleared the heads and the miracle - prints! Fine! Screwdriver in hand and let's disassemble it - removed all the shafts, removed all the clamps, removed the drive shaft with the motor and the rotation sensor. The next is better. Grinder in hand and cut out the central part of the metal frame - there we will have a product to walk on which we will print.
And then the most difficult thing begins - to collect all of the things that are at home: by chance they turned out to be at home:
-kukhonny roller guides (barbarically removed from the kitchen)
-Profiling PVC window sill (lying on the balcony)
- shelf from the old bedside table
- shallow piece of flat aluminum
The kitchen rails and the shelf from the bedside table were turned into a movable table, the sidewalls were PVC trimming of the window sill - on top of them was put what was left of the printer. In a piece of aluminum, I made holes for the motor, the shaft - cut out a hole in the sidewall (which is from the window sill) under this case, and tightly placed it under the movable table. And ... profit - everything works and prints. It remains only to bring all this into a decent view and do not on snot - and here you have a cheap printing solution even on T-shirts, even on boxes ... but in general you can cram anything into it and print on it.
Now I am thinking of making him a more or less decent housing made of chipboard, I have already ordered the CISS and, I think, it will turn out no worse than analogs for 5 thousand green ones. For that kind of money they ask for, I don’t understand at all.

Well, what would be fun higher - that's what eventually came out of this www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=xRNa3NbcLvc
PPS Well, I’ll add the latest news from 2014 - a few years later it all turned into a small-scale production of textile printers)))
